The Concord Monitor’s report focuses on Garret Ean of Concord, who is a blogger at FreeConcord.org and was arrested in the mass arrests of liberty activists outside Manch PD on Saturday. Thanks to Matthew Spolar for the story:
A Concord activist was among eight people arrested at a protest outside the Manchester police station this weekend.
Garret Ean, a 22-year-old Pleasant Street resident who lost a race for a House seat last year, was charged with disorderly conduct at a Saturday afternoon protest that called for more accountability within the Manchester Police Department.
Ean said the protest, organized by copblock.org, a law enforcement watchdog site, was held in reaction to two recent headlines: an attorney general’s report clearing off-duty officers in the beating of a man outside the Strange Brew Tavern and the shooting of a man during a standoff last month.
“We felt someone was needed to bring it to Manchester PD’s attention that there are people who do want to hold them accountable for their actions,” Ean said yesterday. (more…)
Just after 8am yesterday morning, Beau and I left MARV and walked to Manchester District Court, where Ademo and Wes Gilreath were to be arraigned for allegedly engaging in victimless actions this past Saturday at a pro-police accountability rally held at the Manchester PD.
Just after noon, we left with Ademo (free(r) on personal recognizance) but without Wes, who had an outstanding warrant for a failure appear per charges levied upon him for sitting on a cruiser last year in Keene that was transporting Heika Courser to jail. Wes will spend the next 20 days at Cheshire County until his court date unless his bail of $1000 can be paid. (more…)
